I stuck it to the Pharaoh today!

I called up my Credit Card Company, payed off my balance in full and canceled my account.

They asked me why? I said I had no need to pay them the percentage rate they told me I had to pay because they screwed up.

They said they would lower my rate.

I said "No, thats alright, even if you did I would still have to pay you a fee each month just for the privilege of having your leach in my pocket.

They said they would not charge me a fee for three months if I didn't cancel my account.

I said "NO THANK YOU."

They said they would not make me pay a fee for six months!

I said "STILL NO!"

They started to offer me a year....

I said "NO,NO,NO!" AND LAUGHED OUT LOUD INTO THE PHONE!

I haven't felt so empowered in years!!!

Render that Pharaoh!

I just left Egypt and I'm on the way to the promised land!!!

Milk and honey anyone?

Welcome Homie!

Glebie-Glue!

Glebe Ho. stands for "Glebe House".

A Glebe or Glebe House was in the Roman Catholic and Anglican church traditions. The glebe was an area of land belonging to a parish, the revenues from which were intended to help support the parish.

A Glebe-house is a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector, usually at church expense.

Also : archaic : Land specif : a plot of land. Also : land belonging or yielding revenue to a parish church or ecclesiastical benefice.

My guess is that "yielding revenue to" is what my ancestors were up to. They were Coopers by Trade and more than likely would have been employed in the making of barrels, to store or ship the "yielded" product of Flax or Grain.
